The
full title of this exhibit at the New York State
Museum is Latin American and Caribbean Art:
Selected Highlights from the Collection of the
Museum of Modern Art. If we had used the complete
title in the headline, however, you wouldn’t be
able to see the image.
This is the latest in the museum’s Bank of America
series, which has brought some tremendous traveling
exhibits to our little state capital over the
years. This is no exception, as the artists to
be featured include Wifredo Lam, Diego Rivera,
Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Lygia Clark, Alejandro
Otero and many more.
Pictured is Lam’s Mother and Child (1939).
Latin
American and Caribbean Art opens Saturday
(May 17) at the New York State Museum (Empire
State Plaza, Albany), and will run through Oct.
13. For more info, call 474-5877.
